Few organisations have held as prominent a place in the community as Australia Post. With a history stretching back to 1809, when an emancipated convict, Isaac Nichols, opened the first post office in his home in George Street, Sydney, the postal service now faces its most challenging period and the prospect that the deregulation of mail delivery even privatisation will be put back on the agenda.
